Fellow-laborer with Paul at Rome (Col. 4:14; Philem. 1:24); of whom Paul had to write some five years later, “Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed to Thessalonica” (2 Tim. 4:10). This may signify, not that he had apostatized, but that he had fallen from Paul’s line of things through love of this present age.
